"Hehehe," Xiao Chunmei laughed dryly, "Work and play at the same time! It's the same for everyone."
Xiao Chunmei dragged everyone into the water, "Also, we have decided to build more upscale villas on both sides of the canyon. The row on the south side will be for us alone, and the ones on the north side will be rented out."
"Hmph!" Zhou Xiang snorted, "If it weren't for the snow and the New Year, would you all be unwilling to come back?"
"Hehe," Xiao Chunmei grinned, "You guessed right. The canyon runs east-west, and is blocked by mountains on both ends. The temperature is two degrees higher than outside, and the snow scene inside is very beautiful."
"Okay, stop showing off in front of me. Go wash up quickly! And take a look at yourself," she said, reaching out to pick up her little niece in her arms. "Hanhan can hardly recognize you."
Even though her child was snatched away, Xiao Chunmei didn't get angry. "Okay, I'll go wash up. I can't take a proper bath over there. This is a problem."
"Go quickly." Zhou Xiang pretended to kick her. It was not over yet. She thought everyone was like her, playing around and not going home, yet she had the nerve to show off.
Xiao Chunmei went to wash up, and Zhou Xiang asked his third brother, "Is it really that good there?"
Zhou Hua nodded. "The longer I stay, the less I want to come back. Xiao Chen is even more enthusiastic. He can't wait to finish the renovation. He brought many people from the same village to help. Those people don't want to go back either. They even said they would start working after the sixth day of the New Year."
"Then build two more villas reserved for your family."
"What for?" Zhou Hua didn't understand. He didn't plan to build the villa too crowded.
"One for my teacher to live in, and one for emergency use. You all sound so fun, but what if they're all rented out and we have to deal with leaders and the like? Should we give up our own villa?"
"This, isn't a good idea? Zuo Heng and Ji Bin also have family and friends." Zhou Hua hesitated.
"Of course you can't. I'm the major shareholder. Don't I have the right to ask for two more villas?" Zhou Xiang handed a bank card to his third brother. "Just say I'm forcing you to budget for two more villas. I'll add another five million."
"That's not enough. These two buildings are calculated separately. Consider it your major shareholder's benefit." Zhou Hua took the bank card and then held out his hand. "We plan to invest more together during the New Year, double the amount. Hehe, you have to put in another 50 million, and then lend me another 2 million."
"A project worth over 100 million yuan?" Zhou Xiang was surprised. "How big are you guys planning to make it?"
Zhou Hua leaned close to his sister and whispered, "We want to clear all the weeds west of the stream and replant green grass. We want to buy a few horses and raise them for tourists to ride for a fee. We want to plant some ginkgo and maple trees in the woods east of the stream, and tame the hills and valleys. We won't do anything big.
Then, rafting on that stream and using a kayak for rafting also requires a lot of investment.”
Just by listening to this, Zhou Xiang could imagine the beautiful scenery of this health garden. "Then there's no need to add another 56 million, right?"
"The rest will be used as working capital for the future! Do we need to add more after it's used up? It would be best if it's in place this time."
"Alright!" Who told me to let him build it as he pleased? From the beginning, they only had 30 million in funding. "I'll give it to you after the new year."
The funds in his hands have not been fully gathered together, and the surpluses from the shopping mall and the food station are difficult to embezzle. He can only wait and see whether the county will pay back the money. If not, he will have to ask Senior Jiang for the income from Zhejiang Province, or sell the gold.
Only then did Zhou Hua feel satisfied and took his daughter from his sister's arms and went to the side to cultivate their relationship.
Soon, laughter came from the father and daughter. After Xiao Chunmei finished her own hygiene, she came out and let her husband wash up so that she could develop a relationship with her daughter.
Jiang Weihua, who had come to his Yue family to celebrate the New Year, became interested when he heard his nephew bragging about, no, promoting, the Xishan Health Park. "After the New Year, should I go and see it?"
"Okay! We'll start work on the sixth day after the New Year. When will you go?" Zhou Hua agreed happily. After coming back, he had been promoting it for so long that finally someone was interested.
"So anxious?"
"We're throwing money at it every day, so of course I'm anxious." Zhou Hua really wants the renovation to be completed and the park to open right away!
"If you think about it, there's no need to worry. Why are you worried? Isn't she the largest shareholder?" Jiang Weihua teased his nephew.
"The major shareholders have plenty of money, but the small shareholders do." Zhou Hua pretended to be jealous.
"How about I lend you some? You look so hostile to the rich."
"No!" Zhou Hua immediately refused. "From the way you sound, you know you're a person with a lot of spare money. You know I hate the rich, and you still try to provoke me? Be careful, I might rob the rich to help the poor."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to his uncle and went to find his daughter to develop a relationship with her.
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Weihua was really confused by his nephew.
"You hit the nail on the head," Zhou Xiang said with a smile, "He's been short of funds lately and was planning to borrow two million from me. Your generosity has really stimulated him."
Jiang Weihua was a little confused. Since his nephew hated the rich, shouldn't the target of robbing the rich to help the poor be his niece?
Zhou Hua: “…” She’s my own sister, I can’t bring myself to do that to her.
Soon it was the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Xu Tong and his wife and Lu Ying were given a holiday. Zhou Xiang took the gifts he had bought, and the family of five and his eldest and third brothers went to Zhou's house to celebrate the New Year.
Naturally, Zhou Niao and Zhou Hua's families moved back to Zhou's house.
Zhou Yu was still upset because her sister didn't support her seasoning water. She ignored everyone at the dinner table and it was useless for Zhu Hang to hint at her many times.
It was no use glaring at him a few times, and the others were all confused.
Zhou Xiang put down his chopsticks, stood up, and looked down at his second sister. "Zhou Yu! No one in this family should live under your whim. Likewise, no one in this family has wronged you. The saying "a greedy heart will swallow an elephant like a snake" is exactly like you. If you dare to show your displeasure to everyone again, get out immediately."
"You're kicking me out?" Zhou Yu's eyes immediately filled with tears, his face filled with disbelief. "You said I had permanent residency."
"Back then?" Zhou Xiang's face was full of sarcasm. "Touch your chest and ask your heart, are you still the same person as before?"
“Wuwuwu…”
Zhou Yu covered his face, turned around and went upstairs, leaving the table of people embarrassed.
"Brother-in-law," Zhou Xiang looked at Zhu Hang, who had become increasingly weak in recent years, "I know you have feelings for her. You have tried your best to tolerate her over the years, but you have also seen that some people are ignorant of their ways. She almost doesn't know her place anymore.
From now on, no matter how you treat her, we won't blame you. But there's one thing: this family doesn't belong to her alone. Why should we judge her by her face? Why should we accommodate her? How has she been wronged? Is it because she's received too much that she feels wronged?
If she doesn't change her temper, she'll start to think of herself as the Empress Dowager. How can you expect Jiankang Kang and the others to bring their wives home to live with her? Who would be willing to marry their daughter to someone with her temper?"
Zhu Hang sighed, "I know."
The meal ended unpleasantly, and Zhou wanted to drag the teacher to the Ling family. "Teacher, my father-in-law will definitely be happy if you go to the Ling family with us to celebrate the New Year."
"Okay." Professor Chu listened to his student. It didn't matter to him where he spent the New Year, but the atmosphere in the Zhou family had been really bad in recent years. He really didn't want to go unless he had no other choice.
